While a protestor nailed his testicles to a some cobblestones in Moscow, the same city hosted the Miss Universe 2013 pageant. In a night that glittered with tiaras, sequins and female objectification, Miss Universe Venezuela, Gabriela Isler, took home the grand prize.
Rob Lowe hadn’t been born when JF Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago this month – but he’s been chosen to play the young ex-president in an upcoming film rendition of ‘Killing Kennedy’ by Bill O’Reilly.

Why has it taken the world so long to come up with this – it’s a total no-brainer. IfOnly is the name of a new site that is bringing people and celebrities together – and making serious cash while doing it.
Many of us haven’t even begun dreaming about one day going on a luxury train journey. But in the interests of being prepared, we’d like to offer you a list of some of the world’s best – just in case you feel the need to drop some serious dollar when you next go on holiday.
Afrikaans e-news website, the Pro Afrikaans Action Group (Praag), has been put under severe pressure, after Google has pulled the plug on all of its advertising. The site had been generating thousands of rands, but without it’s advertsing revenue it maybe forced to shut down.
Yup, you read that headline correctly. In what was a truly weird night in Amsterdam, Miley began by opening the MTV Europe Music Awards with her hit song “We Can’t Stop”. That wasn’t the weird bit though, the weird bit was the a space-themed silver spandex suit she wore, and the twerking she did on stage with a female dwarf. Also, she smoked a joint.
Previously available with a leather strap, the 5980 is now available in a package that is made entirely out of rose gold. But if you feel like stepping out in one of these, you’ll have to fork out first. One million rand, please.
Talk about putting your balls on the line. A Russian performance artist was hospitalised this Sunday, after he stripped naked and nailed his testicles to a cobblestone in a protest against the Kremlin’s crackdown on political rights.
It’s true, the bike helmet does take some of the open-air appeal away from biking – but it may not have to be that way for much longer, as two women in Sweden have come up with an ingenious solution. It’s an inflatable bike helmet. When you don’t need it, it’s stowed away under you neck. When your precious head is hurtling towards the ground, it self-inflates, thus saving your life.
We all started dreaming about house-cleaning domestic robots ever since we saw those efficient little robots zipping around spaceships in the ‘Star Wars’ movies. While we might not have achieved quite that level of household domestic robot penetration just yet, we’re not far off.
10,000 Dead. Curved Screen Coming For iPhone. ANCYL placed under Provisional Liquidation. Justin Bieber kicked out of hotel. ‘Sir’ David Beckham? Atheist mega-churches are popping up everywhere. Costa Concordia looters busted.
Last week we published a story about the mysterious ‘Google Barges’ that had popped up in the harbours of Portland, Maine and San Francisco – and caused mass hysteria as people attempted to guess what they were for. Some suspected a secret water-borne data centre, or a marketing platform, but Google has dispelled any myths with a recent statement.
Local film maker, Ben Jay Crossman got in touch with us recently to share his video series, titled ‘The Streets Of Fietas’. The series is a stark insight into the lives of the residents of one of Johannesburg’s poorest suburbs, as they battle drug addiction. This is part three of three.
It can be said with a certain degree of confidence that those people who order gluten-free pizzas don’t even know what gluten is, what it does, or why they’re actually rejecting it. It’s a fad now, and the health-conscious are paying good money for bland bread, made out of cornflour. But why?
Yves Rossy and his jet-pack are by no means a new story. But flight after flight, he continues to capture the world’s imagination with his ability to fly at over 300km/h with apparatus that is controlled in the palm of his hand.
Honestly – do people not know that CCTV cameras see everything? Apparently not. In the latest episode of ‘smile, you’re on CCTV,’ 22 year-old Dinara, from Turkey, attempts to sell her baby at an airport for R5,000.
This isn’t what we wanted, is it? Instead of making a dislike button, or a middle-finger button, Facebook have decided to fix something that wasn’t broken. They seem to like doing that.
It’s only a few short years ago that road trips, double maths lessons and waiting for your family in the car was dominated by Snakes, the game. I bet you can still remember the delight you felt the first time you saw a moving, pixelated graphic on a cell phone. And don’t get me started on the first time you laid eyes on a colour screen. It’s Friday, so take a walk down cell phone memory lane. Cue nostalgia in three, two, one…
This kid has clearly not seen a day without playing football. How else could he be this good at such a young age? We’ve seen all the pros do some fancy flicks on the sidelines, like Mesut Ozil’s chewing gum trick, but we’ve never been given a performance quite like this one.
Daniel Green is the front man for an events cover band – Me And Mr Brown. In that capacity, Dan gets to go to a hell of a lot of weddings. Every week, we’ll be bringing you a fresh piece of insight by Dan on weddings, and the wedding industry. Take it away, Dan… The […]
Humour is one of the best ways of dealing with kak news. The proposed Secrecy Bill is kak news. So, Right2Know is hosting a night of comedy and biting satire along with some of South Africa’s best comedians.
As I write this (retrospectively), it’s the beginning of the final day of the Run2Stop Challenge. We’ve travelled almost 600 kilometres, and in that time we’ve busted knees, come close to cutting off fingers, harpooned rocks with steel rods, built jungle gyms from scratch, and suffered heat-induced delirium. But we’ve also found out a few […]
‘Time’ is known for their world-class journalism, hard hitting analysis and classy magazine covers. Never one to take cheap shots at public figures, the world was shocked when they decided to make a fat joke on their most recent cover.
We may have found a story about the worst hangover in recorded history. Canadian Masters’ student, Garret Elsey, had only just arrived at Bristol University when he decided to get a few drinks on his first night out. What began as a tame night of pizza, beer and jagermeister soon became a stomach-churning disaster.
Okay fine, so it’s not National Geographic, but any international recognition is good recognition, right? In a post that lists some of the world’s most colourful and attractive nieghbourhoods, its good to see some local South African flavour chucked in to the mix.
TWITTER EXPLODES! Super-Typhoon slams Philippines. Lance Armstrong says its not fair. Federer wants more drug testing. Obama apologises. Royal pet becoming endangered. Russell Brand and Jemima Khan sitting in a tree.
Rather than tell you which sides we think are going to win or lose, we thought we would take a slightly different approach this week. A preview, of sorts. A discussion. Maybe a debate?
Jaimie Alexander – heard the name? If not, don’t be too concerned. Apart from appearing in a few low-budget horror flicks, she hasn’t made much of an impression on Hollywood. That is, until she decided to step out onto the red carpet without any underwear.
What do you do if you want a live feed on your smartphone that displays all of your body’s biometric data? You shove a massive computer chip under your skin, of course. Tim Cannon, a biohacker, recently became the first person to have one of these implanted – and it looks pretty painful.
